I think I should clarify that I do not believe that the OP coin has any Punic (or other non-Latin) inscription. My mention of the Punic...
I won one coin, a scarce Parthian type, though as per my usual policy I won't go into detail until the coin arrives (and I have the chance to...
Very nice write-up @John Conduitt ! But I have one question: On the last token, how sure are we that the bird is a toucan, rather than a...
There are a few Roman Provincial issues from North Africa that include Punic legends, such as this coin I have of Augustus from the city of...
(Your photos are both upside down, the second photo is the obverse.) Your coin is indeed in Arabic, a Post-Reform type from the Umayyad Caliphate...
Thanks @Finn235 for posting this obscure (to me, anyway) series. To me, that design progression you showed in the second post looks like the man...
Notice how, on the top character (kan) the two legs meet in the middle? That is characteristic of the "Ko Kanei" (Old Kanei) type, issued from...
No worries. Anyway, Parthian and Armenian affairs were pretty tightly linked, so it's relevant. Dr. Gholam Reza Farhad (G.R.F.) Assar has...
Oops, you are correct. Got my Tigranes' mixed up. That's a very nice Armenian coin, too, thanks for sharing.
Another coin from Pars Auction 7: [ATTACH] Parthian Kingdom. Rhagae mint. AE dichalkoi (3.06 g, 15 mm). Orodes I (80-75 BC). Obverse: Bust...
A couple of types not shown in this thread so far: Octavian, with reverse showing priestly implements, emphasizing Octavian's role as Pontifex...
For me, it's a tie between two of Trajan's Parthian War types. The first, "Rex Parthia Datus", commemorates his assigning a puppet-king,...
Oh darn, guess I have to share my scarce, historically important coin again ;): [ATTACH]
@Spargrodan : I wrote about the Domitian possible "Judaea Capta" type a while ago:...
Thanks @Alwin for your post, you found a few nice S.51 Mithradatkart bronze types that I missed. Your suggestion about the sugar loaf is...
Personally I'd go for Commodus 3rd, because I can't resist a well-preserved and nicely-toned ancient bronze. But ultimately you have to decide...
Thanks @Spaniard and @DBDc80 for you input. I did a quick look for S.51 type bronze reverses with the Mithradatkart mintmark and didn't find any...
Welcome @Win Thura Nyunt ! Chinese coins aren't my main area, but I've picked up a few over the years. Here's my collection of coins of Wang...
Sorry about your loss. But it's possible, considering the huge, unsubtle rip, that this wasn't a deliberate theft, but rather that the package...
Another of my recent wins from Pars Coins' auction: [ATTACH] Parthian Kingdom, Mithradatkart mint. AE dichalkoi (2.26 g, 15 mm). Phraates IV...
